On Friday, March 22nd, students and staff will be shaving their heads to help fight childhood cancer. Please help us kick off our annual St. Baldrick’s event by participating in our spirit week Monday, March 18th through Friday, March 22nd.

The Association of School Business Officials International has awarded Kirby School District 140 its Meritorious Budget Award (MBA) for excellence in budget presentation during the 2018-19 budget year. This is the 14th consecutive year that the District has achieved this distinction.

On Friday, March 22nd, select Grissom students and staff will be shaving their heads in support of the St. Baldrick's foundation, a volunteer-driven charity dedicated to raising money for childhood cancer research.

The Board of Education and I are so appreciative of the staff, parents, and community members who enthusiastically support Kirby School District 140 each year. In 2018, the District focused on curriculum enhancements and celebrated numerous student achievements and service learning opportunities.
